\[\frac{ 4y^2 }{8y^4+16y^3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is a common factor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so take that out of everything and what are you left with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im left with \[2y^2+3y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't divide, you subtract. 8y^4-4y^2 = what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (alekos):

the common factor on the bottom line is 8y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's 2y(y+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8-4 is what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dont give up, we'll break it down so you get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it the answer is 2y(y+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats ont correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 1/ is pretty important and your obttom is wrong as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The correct answer is \[1/2y^2+4y\]

OpenStudy (alekos):

yes you're right. thanks
